Transplanted microvessels improve pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocyte engraftment and cardiac function after infarction in rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) offer an unprecedented opportunity to remuscularize infarcted human hearts. However, studies have shown that most hiPSC-CMs do not survive after transplantation into the ischemic myocardial environment, limiting their regenerative potential and clinical application. We established a method to improve hiPSC-CM survival by cotransplanting ready-made microvessels obtained from adipose tissue. Ready-made microvessels promoted a sixfold increase in hiPSC-CM survival and superior functional recovery when compared to hiPSC-CMs transplanted alone or cotransplanted with a suspension of dissociated endothelial cells in infarcted rat hearts. Microvessels showed unprecedented persistence and integration at both early (~80%, week 1) and late (~60%, week 4) time points, resulting in increased vessel density and graft perfusion, and improved hiPSC-CM maturation. These findings provide an approach to cell-based therapies for myocardial infarction, whereby incorporation of ready-made microvessels can improve functional outcomes in cell replacement therapies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
